JOY OF ELEVATION
FOCUS WORD: JOY OF ELEVATION
FOCUS VERSE: Psalm 92: 4 - You make me glad by Your deed, Oh Lord: I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
DECLARATION: Joy erupts in my heart today; I celebrate the mighty works of God in my life.
Recognise what God has done: The Psalmist rejoiced when he discerned that God was on his side working for him. Most times we are focussed on the prayers not answered that we forget to count the blessings God has already given us. Always be joyful at the work of God.
Psalm 126: 3 - The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.
Deuteronomy 8: 2 - And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that He might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
1 Samuel 7: 12 - Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the Lord has helped us.”
God led His people through the centuries protecting and providing for their needs. We need to retrospect on our past to thank God for His goodness and mercy. He is Ebenezer! Remembering yesterday’s faithfulness gives us joy for today’s journey.
Celebrate every step of elevation: We always wait to celebrate till something magnificent happens in our lives. God desires that we recognise His goodness in everything in our life’s journey. Israel celebrated God’s goodness with feasts. In the parable of the ‘Prodigal Son’, the father celebrated when the lost son came back home. The father accepted him as he was. The shepherd celebrated when the lost sheep was found.
Luke 15: 6 - And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.”
Philippians 4: 4 - Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
Zephaniah 3: 17 - The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.
Do not be so ambitious for the next level that you forget the level that God has already brought you to. You need to have a ‘landing space’ in your life - to pause and thank God for His benevolence.
Let elevation increase your gratitude not your pride: Success can produce two responses - ‘look what I have achieved’ OR ‘look what the Lord has done’. When God elevates us, gratitude protects us from pride. The ability to produce wealth ultimately comes from God.
Deuteronomy 8: 18 - You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
1 Chronicles 29: 12 - Both riches and honour come fromYou, and You rule over all. In Your hand are power and might, and in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
1 Corinthians 1: 31 - So that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
If you need to boast, boast in the Lord and His goodness. The higher God takes you, the louder your gratitude should become. Always have a song of praise in your mouth.
Your joy should become a testimony: God’s goodness should not remain a private experience, it should be turned into a public raise. When Philip preached in Samaria, there was great joy in the city.
Psalm 40: 3 - He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
Psalm 107: 2 - Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from trouble………….
Your testimony should influence others to Jesus.
Luke 10: 17 - The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!”
The twelve disciples returned with joy at the works of His hands - God’s work in you can awaken faith in others.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
